anrivptever the result of the Bill of his Right Hon. Friend, nothing could be more gratifying to the House and to a the country, th an that this important question should !)vebeen b roug h t forward and discussed in the manner it e dbeen, a manner wholly free from political or party bias. ef l‘ a lr : C AYLEY approached this subject, or any measure similar na t ure—unless it was' voluntary in its principle with the deepest distrust and apprehension of the result. There could be no dissentient voice as to the principle of co mmutation o f t i t h e ; i ts object was to relieve the t i the receiver, especially if he was a Clergyman, of an obnoxious and invidious, and most unpopular mode, of collecting an !neelesiasfical re venue. I t re l eased cap i ta l to b e h erea f ter vested in the soil from being taxed in the ratio of one tnth of its gross returns. The difficulty in the question Just, bow to arrive at correc t d a t a upon w hi c h t o ground a which arra ngement. He was averse t o an y plan of reduction tith e a mo unted he virtually to a release from the payment of e was equally averse to enhancing a customary pay- Ment ; or perpetuating a charge on a temporary system of er_ultivation to such an extent as involved confiscation. e n 1 4i e a r l e were . various opinions as to the origin and real legal h ad ,:n tithe. Latterly, decisions of Judges, he believed, spilaby.eroien more in favour of the titheowner than the tithe- Whatever might be considered the law upon the 4in J e e t, common sense and common justice had—in "e-tenth t Y - nine cases ou t o f a h un d re d—protested against emspeciall of th e pro d uce b e i ng exac t e d f rom th e l a tt e r, Y when, perhaps, three-fourths of the produce gilt have b een the o ff spring of the capital of the f (l e e r e t tl e,ier, and on l y one -f ourt h t h e pro d uce o f th e na t u r a l b'Y of the soil. However, a middle course had for the e en pageeen pursued ; agreements, real or implied, had between the tithe payer and the tithe receiver B ° l l 4:_ the bases, although the bases were various, of a compo hi`sim at a certain rate. The cultivator, before he invested o l , tt rPital, stipul a t e d th a t on ly a li m ited increase should be e in his tithe, otherwise he refused to improve the land. t i ° th atever increase there was would be an advantage to the e , owner • and so, rather than lose this advantage, he f a i' t a t id consent to abridge his claim of tithe ; and on the t i th u of this the capital was invested.—(Hear, bear.) The on a farm which, at its full value, was only worth 301. might then be raised to 401. by the composition ; ci ugh the full value from double produce would be 601. °tad it b e fair to raise this? He contended i t wou ld b e the Iv a grossest i n j ust i ce. Th e on l y f a i r b as i s o f commu t a tion t o s customary payment, and customary tillage, or cus- Itsa arY arrangem en t.—(H ear , h e ar.) There might be in e a , es where customary payments were very high : that in eats ow n from the tith e p a y ers no t being aware of the power 'oe tinwehands to thwart the tithe owner. There were rs on b o th s id es w hi c h , i n districts where the question the ee , . ti agitated were well known to both parties. The Man could take in kind, the cultivator could change eL cr° l 3 s, and grow such as were of less titheable value. A tit}:J v man in the county of Durham demanded increase of ti n ; ' r em a large coal owner ; he met his demand by shut in i . „ 111) the coal mine in that clergyman's parish, and open did one in another ;so that the tithes were all gone. He ti not advocate such a principle, but gave it as an illustra well or the power which was possessed on the one side as el l „ as on the other. And the low rate of a years pur th j e for tithes in eighteen, showed the precariousness of ProPerty. The fault, the crying fault, of his Noble th n ° , ° d's Bill was, that it went to disturb the proportions of tli e l i „rnPositions. He therefore feared he could not give of " I —for the whole Bill was contained in the provisions eo n , the c l auses 28 and 29—unless the limit or minimum of Nogliosition was taken away, his support.—(Hear.) The f a p ' e Lord might say that the tithe-owner could claim in 40' and that it was unjust of him to allow of more than ti per cent. re d uct i on . Hi s answer was , that the reduc of th q 40 per cent. was a concession to the habit man country and to customary payment—(Hear, hear) in that h e h a d f or saken his general principle tl kc iVeing the tithe at all, except for rent charges. And pri ne re i was that the Noble Lord had forsaken the general Tor ee , for it was th e w orst of all legislation to stand out inter rights and general principles in defiance of vested tl ea l es ts and common usage. Lord Althorp's second Bill aroli t t° ascertai n th e proportion between rent and tithe ; th e i e ueefor war d t i t h e was t o fl uc t ua t e with rent, but retain ten t °cl .Propo r ti on . That was much simpler than the pre ao and much more just, inasmuch as it laid down tit to adjustment on customary payment. At the same . 11 ,14 44 1 ' i 4 s faulty to a certain extent in principle, as font tiill7e tax on capital. He had given his Noble Friend's on o, l ' best attention, but lie could not sanction the limit held minimum of composition. A certain bonus was ted a "ut that all compositions over 75 per cent. should be e i ed to that extent. This was, in his opinion, a mere no tlatadvantage in the Bill, for few he believed were so high 14 e -- (ilear, hear.He could not understand , either , why H aa se 28 should ) not be on the same principle as 29 ; NC. ate( ' to composition, and was to be reduced to 75 per redo ;?8 rel a t e d to co llecting in kind, and was to have no tli at et 'un but th e or di nary charges. They must not forget iUst Tri e4 ° ,..ch land at present prices could not be tilled, and h ue -- "er go to grass or to waste, in which cases the e alt he tithe would be reduced. Then the corn laws might ,°! u t li a et ,,, e ,a• He repeated,. that the only equitable mode hap th "trig this question was, by taking at least not more 4 41 3 'e customary payments and customary tillage as the done 8 ° far as proportion was concerned. The actual iltriet3:lllaYment would, of course, vary with the price of "ev e , t ural pr o d uce . Here again he objected to the last test f e ars bein g ta k en as a test of prices, as well as a th at th angement.

Friend was mistaken in t ray rae cunt, o nt, thou% the average of the last seven years, o ut e eur re „, g fixed, would bear a relative propor -'rtniaNstoroar "I' Produce and value. As to what he said an tYleP.?Yrnents, nothing could afford a more un .,;ed p o d l a co in one instance in Wiltshire, where a hlie tunds per P:sition for forty-five years of three hun tNreP were annum, and on the death of the incumbent and e ig ht y : in valued, d on valued per And he knew another case in Dorsetshire, where a farmer had paid only ene hundred and twenty pounds for tithe under a voluntary agreement, and when that was terminated they were valued at two hundred and forty-six pounds. Thus it would be seen that the voluntary agreements between parties in this way would afford any thing but accurate data on which to found a general compulsory enactment. Mr. HODGES, while anxious for an equitable adjust ment and final settlement of the tithe question, could not but admit that there were strong objections entertained against the present measure. The injury resulting from the project of t aking the estimate from the last seven years would extend over a larger share of England than the Noble Lord imagined, and the discontent would be in proportion. An HoN. MEMBER suggested that after the Bill was read once, the further consideration should be deferred till after the recess. Mr. PRYME thought the principle of compulsory com mutation was the only good one. He thought the present an improvement on the former plan. Lord EBRINGTON fully coincided in the principle of the Bill brought in by Lord Althorp, but he believed that Bill could not in the present temper of the House now be passed. He thought the minimum of 60 per cent. objec tionable, especially in Devonshire, where, from the forbear ance and liberality of the Clergy, and the nature of the landed interest, the Clergy were worse paid, than in other parts of the country. The Bill having been read a first time, the Speaker left the Chair, and the House went into Committee on the Bill. Clause 1, relating to the appointment of commissioners, having been put, Lord J. RUSSELL, in answer to a question from Sir R. Peel, which did not reach us, said that two of the Com missioners were to be appointed under the sign manual of the King, and another ender the seal of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and that the nominating parties were to re move their respective nominees, and to substitute others, in case of necessity. Sir R. PEEL said that the party who drew up the Bill seemed to have paid very little attention to accuracy. In one clause it was stated to be a Bill for England, and in another a Bill for England and 'Wales. He should like to know from the Noble Lord, or from the Attorney-General, to what section of the empire, England alone, or England and Wales, did the Bill apply ?—(Hear, hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL said the Bill was to apply to Eng land and Wales ; and the word England alone was used, as he understood that England included Wales. Mr. DUNCOMBE asked the Noble Lord from what source the expenses and salaries of the Commissioners were to be paid ? Lord J. RUSSELL said, from the Treasury. After a few remarks from some Hon. Member, which were inaudible to us, the clause was agreed to. On clause 2 having been put, Mr. TREVOR said that, as it appeared that the Com missioners might be Catholics or Unitarians, it was not likely the interest of the Church would be sufficiently con sulted he should therefore propose that the Archbishop's commissioner, who was likely to be a man anxious for the security of the Church, should have a casting vote. The Hon. Member then moved an amendment to the effect that no report of the Commissioners have any sanction unless it received the sanction of the Commissioner of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Mr. RICHARDS and another Hon. Member hoped the Hon. Member would withdraw his amendment. The Hon. Member then withdrew his amendment. Clauses 3 to 12 were agreed to. The House then resumed, and the Chairman obtained leave to report progress and to sit again. CORPORATION OF DERRY. Captain JONES complained of a misrepresentation which appeared in the reported speech of the Hon. and and Learned Attorney-General for Ireland respecting the salary and emoluments of the town clerk and solicitor to the Corporation of Derry. In that report it was stated that the salary of that individual was 4001. a year, and that, not withstanding, his bill of costs for the same period amounted to 4,000/. Now, the fact was that 400/. was his salary for nearly 20 years—his annual allowance being only 20/., and the 4,000/. were his costs spread over the same space of time. Mr. O'L OGHLEN had strictly adhered to the report of the Commissioners in the observations he had made on the subject. IRISH TITHES. Lord MORPETH gave notice that . he would, on Mon day, the 25th of April, bring forward a measure relative to tithes in Ireland. On the motion of Mr. Alderman WOOD, the Metropo litan Hackney-carriage Bill was read a second time, and or dered to be committed on Monday next. Sir J. GRAHAM moved a resolution—" That the House do declare that, according to the established rules of Parliament, the Chairman of a Select Committee can only vote when there is an equality of voices."—Agreed to. Mr. LEFROY moved for a return of the number of householders of the city of Cork, who signed certificates of their qualification to vote at the last election as marksmen. The motion was opposed by Dr. Baldwin, Mr. Sheil, and Mr. O'Loghlen, and supported by Colonel Pcrceval. The House divided on the motion, when the numbers were— For the motion Against it Majority —44 The other orders of the Day were then disposed of, and e House adjourned at half-past Twelve o'clock.

There was a very good muster of sporting men yesterday at the Red House inclosure, but not so many as might have been expected. The completion of the match for the Publicans' Cup took place, Swayne and Bloodsworth being the two members who had tied. Mr. Bloodsworth stood at twenty-five yards rise, whilst his adver sary was at twenty-one yards. Seven birds were the number to be victimised, and Mr. Swayne and Mr. Bloodsworth, the giant of the day, were in trim by two o'clock. In the first seven Bleodsworth killed wonderfully, but he was certainly out of luck, his gun hang ing fire on two occasions, and each of those birds falling dead out of bounds ;he marked five however, as did his adversary. They then agreed to shoot that tie off at five birds. Mr. Swayne killed all his birds, but Mr. Bloodsworth missed one, although he shot with a beautiful gun of Mr. H. Moore's. He certainly must have been out of trim, but his birds were very fast, and he had four yards the worst of it. HUNTING APPOINTMENTS.

MARYBOROUGII, MARCH 15.—1 t is gratifying to find, and the state calendar proves it, that the White and Black foot factions which so long disgraced this county, have dis appeared without leaving a trace behind them. The King's denunciation of the Orangemen appears duly appreciated by all classes of Catholics and the Liberal Protestants. Indeed it is the first proof of the abolition of misrule which the peasantry could understand. It came home to them. I heard one of them, however, remark, that the " King could not come at the Orange jurymen ;" but the conduct of the Crown hitherto, in forbearing to exercise their pri vilege of " putting by," has, by allowing mixed juries, in a great degree remedied the evil apprehended. The Orangemen of this town, tailors, tinkers, and all, seem determined to preserve the principle, if not the name. They attended the other evening at a theatrical exhibition, and continually interrupted the amusements with the " Kentish fire," in which they were ably seconded by some gentlemen from Ossory, including two Magistrates.— Register. TITHES, TUAM.—PUBLIC MEETING.—The (Dublin) Freeman referring to the resolutions and petition adopted at Tuam, declares that the protest which they contain against the statements of the Protestant Archbishop of Tuam and the clergy of the united dioceses of Achonry, Tuam and .Killala was absolutely necessary. The truth of those state ments is solemnly denied by the Catholic Archbishop of Tuam, and six of the most respectable inhabitants of that town. It is not true, continues our Contemporary, that the people have acquiesced in the payment of tithe—it is not true that the Protestant clergy are in that state of destitu tion so pathetically described by the Protestant Archbishop —but it is true that the payers of tithe are now struggling with the most distressing privations. But there is one reso lution which the Protestant clergy of the diocese of Tuam must read with no small feelings of self-reproach—we mean that resolution which prevents the meeting giving full ex pression to their indignation at the publication of that cele brated document of the Protestant clergy of Tuam, which will accept of no compromise—no composition—no deduc tion whatever from the full hundred—the entire pound of flesh alone will satisfy the Protestant ministers of the Gospel. We are assured by the people assembled at Tuam, that the determination of the inhabitants of the entire of the west and north-west is as firm as ever against the payment of tithe ; and they caution the landed proprietors not to suffer themselves to be made the instruments of the esta blished church in becoming its proctors and collectors, thus exposing their rents to the fate of tithes , and excha n g in g their characters as guardians and protectors of their te nantry, for the odious appellation of tithe collectors and tithe persecutors of the oppressed Catholic peasant. COUNTY DONEGAL.—We cannot give a better proof of the guilty apathy and negligence of the leading men of the county than the melancholy fact that two such indivi duals as Colonel Conolly and Sir E. S. Hayes should be their present representatives ; but, there is a dawning of a bright day for the county. Lord Clements and the Ma rquis Conyngham are up and stirring, and Lord Temple more promises not to be backward in the honourable ri valry. The people, too, are taking their fire from such re spectable guides ; and a Registry Association is about to be formed in Lifford.—Freeman's Journal. THE BELFAST ORANGEMEN.—It appears that the Orangemen of this district, notwithstanding the King's command, have resolved " that until the Grand Lodge shall come to a determination this district will remain firm and united as Orangemen !" This is loyalty MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the New London Price Current of last night.) SUGAR.-The Market for West India has assumed a more lively appearance, notwithstanding the public sales of Mauri tius announced, much more business having been done this week than last at fully former rates, and in some cases even better prices have been obtained.

There is no more Dutch Crushed Sugar to be had on the spot for the present ; for delivery they are asking 41s. 6d. a 425. per cwt. Parcels of Lumps sent down to the Docks for crushing have been stopped, they not being considered by the officers equal to the standard sample.

The transactions in the Foreign Market are 800 bags of Brazil at 525., and a cargo of St. Domingo afloat (recently at Falmouth) of 2,910 bags, taken for Hamburg at 525. 9d. ; another cargo is offering for sale. The large public sales of Coffee at Amsterdam and Rotterdam have concluded, the greater portion were bought in by the Company at very full prices ; the remainder fetched their full value, and in some instances even stiffer rates. At public sale this afternoon, 100 bags 3 casks mid. unclean De merara went rather lower, and fetched 755. a 86s. 6d. ; the demand for the clean sorts continues good ; the stock was never known to be so low as at the present time, being only 1,905 casks, 750 bags; also at auction to-day 380 bags St. Domingo offered, about 120 bags fetched 535. for good ord. quality, being very full prices, rest taken in at 525. 6d. a 535. COCOA.-At auction to-day 53 bags Grenada sold after the sale at 525. a 58s. for fair quality, being full prices. RCM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-The limited quantity of Rum offering for sale has caused the demand this week to be very moderate, and confined mostly to parcels in second hands; there have been several enquiries, and providing the market was well supplied, a good business would have been done at very full prices ; only 880 puns., 190 hhds. have arrived since our last, which have not yet been brought forward for sale. Brandy is still completely neglected. In Geneva nothing done; several arrivals this week. COTTON.-Although the business done has been much less this week than last, still there has been a very good demand at fully last week's quotations. The Market at Liverpool is rather quiet ; prices do not give way. The sales consist of 540 Ben gal, ord. to good, 50. a 6gd. ; 2.000 Surat, ord. to good, 61d. a Bd. ; 1,330 Madras, ord. to good, 6d. a lid. ; 60 Bowed, I Id.

INDIGO-The April sale is likely to be increased to 5,000 chests ; there is, therefore, less demand except for particular qualities, and but few parcels have been sold since our last. The deliveries since the Ist instant about 1,000 chests. QUICKSILVER.-About 200 or 300 bottles sold at 3s. 6d., and at that price there are plenty of buyers.

A melancholy consequence resulting from the in temperate use of ardent spirits, occurred at Newcastle, on Wednesday week. Whilst the officers of his Majesty's Cus toms were employed in gauging a number of casks of whisky, on the Quay, a keelman, named Thomas Cunningham, resid ing in Sandgate, watching his opportunity, introduced a " sucker" into one of the bung-holes, and drank until he be came quite insensible, and on being conveyed home, he fell into a succession of fits, in which he continued until eleven o'clock at night, when death released him from his sufferings. The deceased was a young man, ;in his 26th year, and has left a widow and two young children to lament his dreadful end.

CONSISTO GROVER V. GROVER. This was a suit for divorce by reason of adultery, alleged to have been committed in the years 1834 and 1835, with M. Amadee de Wall, rector of the post, and a Captain in the National Guard, at .. Ville Dieu, in F rance , p romo ted by Mr. John Grover against Louisa Grover, his wife. The libel on the part of the husband was admitted, subject to certain reformations, in Michaelmas Term last, and an al legation on behalf of the wife, of twelve articles, responsive to that libel, was now offered. Dr. LUSHINGTON, after having recited the main contents of the original libel, and the answers to that libel contained in the present allegation, said that the question resolved itself into this ; whether the circumstances pleaded in that allegation might not be important as a defence on the part of the wife ; and with that view it became necessary to examine the separate articles of the allegation. The Learned Judge then commented upon the articles seruittm, and considered the substance of the allegation entitled to admission. Some reformations were, however, necessary, and he accordingly directed the allegation to be admitted, subject to the alterations which he had made upon the se veral parts. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.—LEwEs, MARCH 25. CROWN COURT.—Edward Baxter and Edward Pearson were indicted for having entered, on the night of the 4th of December last, the preserve of Edward Sadler, Esq., at Bagshot, for the purpose of destroying game. Some doubt arising as to the identity of Pearson, the Jury acquitted him ; but found Baxter guilty, and he was sen tenced to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. Peter and Henry Langley, James Marks, Simon Tywell, William Gastar, and William Caplin, were indicted for a similar offence in the preserves of W. Richardson, Esq., at Weston, on the night of the 28th of December last. It appeared that the prisoners used great violence, and fractured the skull of one of the keepers, one of the bones of which were produced in Court. No doubt existing as to the prisoners' identity, the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and they were sentenced to transportation for four teen years. Henry Parry, aged 24, carpenter, was indicted for mali ciously stabbing Anne Voice, with intent to murder her. Mr. Hollert conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Darby the defence. The prosecutrix, aged 29, lived in service at Petworth, and received the addresses of the prisoner for some time. He afterwards gave her up, and in a fit of jealousy he stabbed her as she was returnin g home from a friend's house, on the 23d of December last. She exclaimed, " Oh! John, you have done for me." He replied, " I meant to do it." He afterwards kissed her and ran away. The jugular vein was divided, and she was confined for three weeks. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, but re commended him to mercy.—Death recorded. MIDLAND ClRCUlT.—Wileyacs, Mimi' 24. These Assizes commenced yesterday, but no business was done further than opening the Commission. The business for the county is very heavy in both Courts, the cause paper containing a list of thirty-two cases, five being special juries, while the calendar has 170 criminals in its catalogue of crime. There are, however, few of a very heinous nature. No case of any interest was disposed of during the day. NORFOLK CIRCUIT, BURY Sr. EDiroxp's,MAßCH24. John Simpson was indicted for firing a pistol, loaded with ball, at Sophia Gall, with intent to murder her. The prisoner is a married man, with several children, liv ing at Ipswich, where he follows a mariner's life, being the captain of a merchant vessel. The prosecutrix is a married woman, and in the absence of her husband, a seafaring man, she contracted an illicit connection with the prisoner. This connection existed for some time at Ipswich, after which the parties went to London, where they lived for 11 months as man and wife. In the course, however, of the last summer, her husband persuaded her to return to her home, and she left London to return to Ipswich in pursu ance of his invitation. On the afternoon of the 26th of August she and her sister left her mother's to go to Wood bridge, where she was to meet her husband. In her way thither they had to cross a heath, where two persons of the names of Osborne and Rushbrooke overtook and entered into conversation with them. At this time the prisoner was walking behind a hedge which divides the heath from a meadow, where he continued for some time to keep alongside •of them. The prosecutrix and her sister were about to leave the heath, when the prisoner ran a little way a-head of them, jumped' over the style, and confronted them. He asked her—" Sophy, Sophy, is this proper treatment ?" to which she replied, " It's no odds to you, Mr. Simpson•; let us go quietly on." He then began to abuse her vilely, on which she requested Osborne to turn back with her and protect her, which he promised to do. The prisoner said—" Go where you will, Sophy, follow you." Upon hearing this she became frightened, and sat down on a bank, when he requested her to " shake hands with him," which she refused to do, observing "'she' had unhappily shaken hands once too often with him." In a short time she left the heath, and went to a beer-house to get some refreshment, and after staying some time, she left for the purpose of continuing her onward journey to join her husband. When they quitted the house, however, the prisoner was found loitering near. The prosecutrix was too much alarmed upon observing this, especially as it was getting late, to pursue her walk to Woodbridge, and after having obtained the protection of Osborne and the other man, she and her sister agreed to return back to her mother's house. Near her mother's there is a covered passage through which it was necessary for her to pass. Just as she was about to enter this place, she heard a rustling behind, and on turning round saw the prisoner within a few yards of her. In a moment he drew a pistol from his pocket, levelled it at her, and fired, at the same time exclaiming, " Thank Heaven ! I've shot the woman, and I shall now die contented and happy." The prose . cutrix immediately fell, and was carried into her mother's house.—The Jury found the prisoner GUilty. The Learned JUDGI postponed passing sentence till to-morrow. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—HzaEFORD, MAIM 24. The business of these Assizes commenced today at twelve o'clock. The calendar contains thirty-four prisoners, of whom one is charged with child murder, and two with forgery. In the cause list were twelve causes. Ten were speedily disposed of. The following was the eleventh, and occupied the afternoon : VERRY V. 'WATKINS. Mr. 11VMAHON opened the pleadings, and stated that this was an action for the seduction of the plaintiff's daughter, to which the defendant had pleaded that he was not guilty. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD stated the facts of the case. 'the plaintiff is a small farmer, living in this county, having four daughters, one of whom was named Elizabeth. The defendant was a young farmer, aged about thirty-three, hav ing no immediate property, but sufficient in expectation to warrant him in marrying her. About a year and a half since the defendant became acquainted with her, he pro mised her marriage, but having abused her confidence, and a child having been born, he refused to fulfil his engage ment, and had since wholly neglected her. Elizabeth Verry, examined by Mr. M‘Mismoic—l am the daughter of Mr. Verry. He has four children. lam 18 ; lam the eldest. lam living at home with my father. I received 71. a year wages from him. I have known the defendant two years. He offered me love, and promised to make me his wife. In the end be prevailed on me to grant his wishes. I became pregnant, and was delivered on the 16th of last Aug ust. I communicated my preg nancy to him on the sth May last. He said, if I was, it was by some one else, and advised me to take something that he would brinc , me. He said there was a tree in his garden, and he would bring me something from that, and said it was savin. I said, " I suppose that will kill my child, I think it would be quite as wicked to do so now, as after it is born." He wanted me to go and be delivered elsewhere. I would not go, and I did not. see him after wards. I asked him for money for the support of the child, but he would never give it me. Cross-examined.--I became acquainted with him at Mi chaelmas, 1833. I never had intercourse with any one else, and the first with him was in a. -field, a short time be fore Christmas. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 51. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. UNION- HALL. Air. James, the Barrister, on the part of a Mr. Fleming. made application for warrants against two Individuals under the following circumstances : It appeared from Mr. James's statement that, during the pending of a commission of lunacy to inquire into the state of mind of Colonel Norris, residi f ig in Lambeth, an attempt was made by some parties to tr j ake a forcible entry into the Colonel's house, for the purvi,ose of taking possession of the property. One of the par ties against whom the Learned Counsel applied called at, the house on the preceding night, and, having knocked a'. the street door, when it was opened shoved his stick in, w3th a view of preventing it from being closed. The servant, however, snatched the stick away, and succeeded in shutting the person out, and by this means prevented a forcible entrance into the house. People were also attracted round the house by the conduct of the per sons a gainst whom the application was made. As, however, it did not appear that any threats of per sonal violence were uttemd towards the individual for whom Air. James atten ded, or, otherany acts which would have justified them in granting warrants, the application was re fused, the Magistrates remarking that if Mr. Fleming re mained at Colonel Norris's house as his protector, he w ould be justified in ca'Aling iq the assistance of other f r i en ds to aid him. •FRIDAY I
